Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an amazingly resilient woman. She was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 1999 and underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. During the process, she did not miss a day on the bench.
On February 5, 2009, she again underwent surgery related to pancreatic cancer. Ginsburg's tumor was discovered at an early stage. Ginsburg was released from a New York hospital, eight days after the surgery and heard oral arguments again four days later.
According to a Court spokesperson, it has not yet been determined if Ruth Ginsburg will spend the night in the hospital.
